From the Key fltone. BANK AND STATE. Tlie hist hational'bank expired on the 4th March, 1830, and thus terminated all con nection between the general government, and any monicd corporation deriving its.cx istenrc and power from its authority. The general failure of the state hanks to pay their debts in tho only constitutional cur rency, gold and silver coin, has produced S actual separation of tho fiscal concerns of the U. States from all corporations, crea ted by the state or territorial governments, and the people of this great country aie now enabled, untrammelled by "any express or implied contracts with any man or body of men to collect and dispurse their own revenues in the only Inan'ner Sanctioned by the spirit of our .face constitution. The details of the constitutional system 'simply require arrangement, in order to complete the entire and total indopendance of the United States of all 'corporations, whether national or state, fo'reign or domestic. This is a plain but brief statement of our actual fiscal condition, which has been so admirably pourtraycd'in the able, eloquent, and patriotic message of President Van Buren, which we can tint loo earnestly re commend to the. careful and dispassionate perusal of every true hearted American. Whilst the general government, under the auspices of Jackson and Van Iluren, has thus enfranchised itrclf from the aristocracy of wealth, the great state of Pennsylvania, under whig and antimasonic control) has been made subservient to the views of bank ers and speculators, and the liberties and energies of her citizens have been deliber ately and corruptly sold to British Nobles and to British bankers, and to their hired agents, the American renegades who teach and practice the treasonable doctrine, that ourFIRST duty is to FOREIGN nations, a principle which would have sanctioned the blue lights of the last war, and have immor talised the tories of the revolution. That this isnolan exaggerated picture of our sit uation uitder the benign influence of the Uritisb bank parly, which has now the com mand of oitt 'stale! administration, and of its sapient head, a few words will suffice to show. The English aristocracy have always de spised and trampled upon the democracy, and it has bepn their study In inculcate the same doctrines in America by their emis saries and agents. If the individual agent is an American citizen he is paid more liberally for aspersing the character and in stitution's of his own country. The late add the present bailk of the United States were, and are notoriously British agencies, nominally managed by Americans, whose souls and bodies were, and are wrapt up in the accumulation of wealth, and in the honor reflected upon them by a sirict imitation of the language anil prejudices of their foreign masters. "From its nature," say the titled bankers, "the influence of a bank must he allied to the ARISTOCRACY OF WEALTH, and not to the DEMOCRACY OF NUM BERS," and in order to prove the truth of this assertion, their Jlmencun Viceroy, in addressing the youth of Princeton College. thus exhorts them: "From your own qui et elevation watch calmly this SERVILE ROUTE (the people) as it triumph sweeps before you." Youth iif tfic rising genration separate yourselves from the democr'acv of numbers, 'tis "the vulgar dominion of ninoraucp anil pronigacy, they arc "ban ditti," "its worst wizens," "fugitives" from "the penitentiary," "gladiator slaves," "robust barbarians," "your country's en emies," " vultures," "betrayers," 'degen erate children," and "proflijjatc men." Sueh is the decent language of the aristocracy or wealth, as delivered by their Anarcharsis Clootz", the Cicero of paper money. The nanus of the United States, under the lead of its president, avowing such anti American m'd anti-republican sentiments, has particularly aimed at tho destruction of tho prosperity or Pennsylvania, and the elections or l335 had finally settled the question, that a largo majority of her citi zens were opposed to it as a national or state institution. By a division in the dem ocratic ranks, Joseph Rimer was elected Governor, w ith a majority or wbigs and antimcsons in the lower house, and in his inaugural address ho pledged himself a gainst the iiicreaso or banking capital and paper in tho following strong terms: "In this point of view, the increase of tho sub stitute (pnppr money) beyond the actual value and amount oHis prjicipal, (specie) is armH upon tho public. The man who takes inpayment for his labor, his goods, or his Ittnd, is cheated,'' and he also stated that it was oho oHhe "indispensable dutict of those who administer die (state) govern ment," to maintain '-a sound curr net." At this very moment he had determined, in secret, and by a combination with the bank, to grant it a charter, and this atree ment wan fulfilled on the 18th February 1837, by adding in one d-.iy thirty-fivo mill' ions to the banking capital of the state, and twenty-two millions to tho "substitute" paper money' thus rendering tho currency rounder by driving out gold and silver coin, '""" on ng pieces ol paper, "daubed with hYmb black." toniiJ, 1, nearly double tho whole actual paper cir cu alien of all tho banks in Pennsylvania. 1 lu? consistency and patriotic redemption onus solemn pledges is worlyof tho prcat. magnanimous, reformim', travelling b-mk' whiff got prnor of IVnnsylvanh -1 )ilWllll 'WHO liiSUtUTMli filll.SrLAS.l-l.KH'' Whencvcr'this hnporlantifttmm i pro- II. Ul, - . .1 . .. . i t. ..tnn nl irillllV III answer to n was iu u h j tho charge. They have been, ever since the suspension orspecio payments, assidu ously labouring to prove that the democrats were the indirect authors or the shin plas ters, hut thus rarthcy have so grossly railed, that they daroitnot look an honest man in the race when they make the assertion. The fiicts on'this subjet are too notorious .to leave any man in doubt. It js. we.ll known that the whig councils or Philadelphia, which arc composed or the noisy Mends or Gov. Ritncr, issued the vast amount or 130,000 dollars the very next day after the banks suspended specie payments, they have been increasing the amount almost every week since, by divers large additions. The banks received them for circulation, and innhe'diately paid them out at their c"ountcrs, in the place ol' the specie, hoarded in iheir vaults. On the same day the banks suspended paying out specie; notices were stuck up at the corners ol the streets in the city of Philadelphia, announcing that tho next day these shinplastcrs would be issued. These facts prove inconteslibly that be fore the banks stopped paying specie, they had made an arrangement with Gov. Mi ner's' whig federal friend of the city coun cils, to issue these shinplastcrs for the accommodation of the banks. This infer ence cannot be disproved. The charge has been reiterated again and again, in Philadelphia, and has not, so far as we know, been denied. It is said by Gov. Rimer's adherents that ccrtaiu democratic councils in the interi or of tho state, havo also issued shin plas ters. Let us grant it but they did not do so, till the interior of the whole common wealth was flooded with counterfeit and spurious city shin plasters, and it became a grave question whether tho honest people of the country should bo cheated out of thousands of dollars by these notes, the sig natures, and devices of which they were unacquainted with, or whether the corpora tions In their immediate neighborhood, should issue certain limited Amounts of small notes, to exclude the city counterfeits rrom circulation in the country. We say nothing or the policy of issuing small notes by these democratic corporations, but this we say, tliey were irrnsrally made to defend the people against the fraudulent spurious shinplastcrs that came from abroad. The first great cinUston came from the friends of Governor Ritncr, to aid and ac commodate the banks with a substitute for specie, and as they have been approved by his supporters every where, we think it exceedingly probable the project was known, and ratified by him before it was carried into execution. ' Why is it not so" The issuing of these note's is a palpable vi olation or the law; and yet the banks, over which Gov. Ritner promised, in his last proclamation, to keep a strict eye, have been most actively engaging in this syste matic contempt of the law of the land; L the illustrious "Supremacy of the law" gov ernor, has not breathed a word upon the subject. Khe did not approve or the issuing or paying out or shin-plasters, by the banks, why has he not ruhninatcd his thunders attaints them, for their manifest disregard or tho law? Why did he not hold opto them the penalty of sinning? Wlm did he not tell them a blapk and bitter day' of reck oning Was. a hand yhcri t10y ,nust answer for the oflences? This "reform" governor who gnashes his toothless gums at the Na tional Government or his country, and de- miinicea war anu uiood, is silent as the grave when he fees his friends, the wbigs of Philadelphia, allied with tho banks, in open day, trampling the laws in the dust. uoy. miner ami Ins friends deny that ... urn uiu sninpiasiers!!
